5 Mrs. Robert J. Burdette Makes Some
t Pointed Remarks.
t Chicago, Nov. 4.?"If the club worn,
an does not make tho best companion
i for her husband and the best comrade
for her hoy, there Is either something

an's view," said Mrs. Robert J. Bardette,

a lecture before the West End club
yesterday afternoon.
"Club life for women should propare

Republicans In Phllriielphia Straining
Every Effort.
Philadelphia. Nov. 4.?Many voters
were waiting to casrthel:- ballots when
the polling places oponed at 7 o'clock
this morning.
There was apparently more Interest
taken In the election in this oltv than
had been expected by either of the leading
parties. The Republican workers
are straining every effort to get out a
big vote in Philadelphia in order to
offset a possibility of a heavy Democratic
majority in the state outside o(
Philadelphia. There is no opposition
to the six Republican congressional
candidates in this city, and*only two
contests of moment for legislative candidates.
LARGE VOTE POLLED.
Factional Fights Enliven Election Day

Pittsburg, Nov. 4.?Dotal factional

part of the state. The country districts
in fho north will poll very light,
es the farmers aro busy with their
beet sugar crops. The southern pa;-t
of the state reports a light vote. A
vory hoary vote has been polled up to
noon In Detroit, where city officors
are being cloctcd.
In Florida.
Jacksonville, Fla., Nov. 4.?A light
vote, is being polled throughout the
stato on account of the lack of con
tests. All the candidates are nominees
of the July primary, the Democrate
havlnK the only party organize
tlon In the state. The vote on the
constitutional amendments to add
three members to the supreme court
bench is the only one creating special
Interest. The Indications are thj
amendments will be adopted by a good
majority.

Chattanooga. Nov. 4.?Today is clear
and pleasant. and prospects are for a
large vote. John A. Moon (Dem.) has
no opposition for congress. Indications

A Weak
Stomach
Indigestion Is often caused by overeating.
An eminent authority says
the harm done thus exceeds that from
the excessive use of alcohol. Eat all
the good food you want but don't overload
the stomach. A weak stomaeh
may refuse to digest what you eat.
Then you need a good digestant like
Kodol, which digests your food without
the stomach's aid. This rest and
tho wholesome tonics Kodol contains
soon restore health. Dieting unnecessary.
Kodol quickly relieves the feeling
of fulness and bloating from
which some people suffer after meals.
Absolutely cures indigestion.

Some time after, in an Interview |

"With Schumann," said Wagner, "It '
